@Treble It’s called a beta for a reason and you accept the issue that comes with beta software when you install it. You could try a network reset on the device

@Treble , just to add, I have just installed IOS Beta 18.3, so maybe try updating to that one. I have not had that problem myself.

I am on Beta 3, seems better, but that is why this is a beta version, so things may not work as required.

@Robcrouch That’s why you don’t install beta firmware on your daily device. Not sure why anyone is asking on here as it’s nothing to do with EE until you can rule out the beta firmware. Perhaps you should be downgrading back to 17. Oh just remember you can not reinstall any backup you might have from 18, you need to have a 17 backup. I do hope you have this if you decide to go back to 17.

Yeah I’m also on IOS beta 18.1 Ai version and I’m also constantly getting disconnects, reported to apple through the feedback app and there response was it’s working as it’s designed to. I accept the bugs and glitches with betas, so all we can do is soldier on now. Update to IOS 18.1 AI should be out in few days. Also turning RCS off doesn’t help as I’ve tried that. I’ve also tried a network reset and that didn’t do anything to help

Sorry where did I say it was on a daily device? Lots of assumptions made here…

yes we know it’s beta software captain obvious, did you have anything actually meaningful to contribute?

Have you checked for an update? I am now on beta 18.3? It seems to be working better than beta 18.1, just go and click on settings update.

Same here and I was blaming the EE network, I thought I would be the beta because before didn’t happen to me. Glad to know some people experience this , so is not only me

@Robcrouch so what’s the problem you have a beta installed on a test device and you accept the issues that come with beta software when you install it. Just stating the obvious.

Just out of curiosity is your daily device on the EE network and does that have this problem ? because you don’t say you just bring up the beta software/device having this issue. So if that has no issue what does that say.

@Schockwave There is 2 separate betas available OS 18 public beta 3 or developer beta 5 and OS 18.1 which is not yet available as a public beta it’s just a developer beta at present.

At a guess 18.1 will be the version on the next iPhone when it becomes available it’ll not launch with 18. Apple now have a software launch and then a few weeks later the iPhone launch.

Beta 18.1 Ai version is a version after beta version 18.3 so there is no where anyone can update to I’m afraid. It’s complicated as apple as released 2 different betas at same time. The normal IOS 18 beta and the IOS 18 AI beta.

Re: iPhone 18.1 beta dropping signal frequently

Schockwave — Sun, 11 Aug 2024 13:12:19 GMT

@Chris_B , I was writing about the public beta, which is 18.3 and yes I know the developer one is beta 5. I also know that OS 18.1 is not available for the public yet. This is normal and I have seen it every year.

Well, I might have to wait until after my holiday in middle of September before I can apply for the IPhone 16 Pro Max and IWatch 10, unless by small chance it is out before then, which I doubt!

Some do not check for updates if on beta, as beta 3 is available in my opinion.

Schockwave — Sun, 11 Aug 2024 13:15:11 GMT

@Gareth43 , AI beta may be for the newer IPhones, as I have IPhone 12 Pro Max, so that may be why I am on beta 3 and not Beta 18.1 AI!

@Schockwave You need to call it 18b3 not 18.3 😁. How are you finding it ? I did update my iPad to the developer beta 5 and it seems pretty stable, once the 18.1 is updated to developer beta 2 I might push on to the iPad.

Re: iPhone 18.1 beta dropping signal frequently

Schockwave — Sun, 11 Aug 2024 14:24:24 GMT

@Chris_B Why 18b3, I. Wrote Beta 3 and previously 18.3 beta? it is ok, pretty stable, no problems, thus far as I can see.

The purpose of the thread was the op asked if anyone else experienced the issue, so I replied saying yes as i have, not sure what your need to get involved was?
